The office I work for KW has a 6 weeks course for new agents.  You also take an hour out of class to call expired listings.  A friend of mine got 3 listings out of this class.

On the job training works pretty good. It's one thing to go over a listing presentation, than actually attending one with an experienced agent. From that you can glean important information and decide what works for them....

It is a lot of work Bob. We have a program where seasoned agents speak to motivate the new agents and also walk them through all the contract and disclosure steps. and they they are on their own. I am always available to answer any question, people were very helpful to me when I started.

As a newer brokerage, we are trying to find out what the agents need most by the questions they ask and the scenarios they are bringing to us.  I am part of a broker forum in my area where we get together once a montha dn discuss issues at independent brokers.  We also focus on a business plan as a key ingredient to getting started as a new agent.  And on top of that we have weekly meetings where we bring in diferent speakers.

Tierra Antigua Realty has a great training program for new agents, or those with experience as well.  They have a calender full of classes every month, even some with CE for free.   Knowledge is power, they help supply the knowledge.

Bob Crane I initiated an agent mentoring program to work with the agent until they were ready to go out on their own.

we don't have time to train new agents ....we only hire seasoned agents.... when I interview a new agent, I can determine in one interview if that agent has the potential to soar....if he/she does, I'll suggest the agent interview with xyz company and train there....make all of their mistakes there....and then call me to make money!!!  and they do.

Give them the Genius test.

If you don't know what kind of Genius they are, you will be guilty of trying to teach a fish to climb a tree.

Fish tree climbing IS the training of most brokerages and over the decades, the percentage of those who succeed are so low as to be nearly criminal.

Don't repeat what folks are doing NOW.
